Tips & Strategies

Bring extras and inventory decoys. These little shits are thieves and unlike pegos you don't get it back.
More Ichthyornis Taming & KO Tips
Similarly to real life, these greedy douchebags will try to steal your sandwiches, however if you are drunk enough, you can stay up into the late hours of the evening and have deep insightful conversations with these feathered friends as they simply stare at you in confusion and bark in bird language. In return they will bring you magical fish as a reward.
Iβm pretty sure if a seagull eats my 250 narcotics it would fall asleep at least right? NO
I hate these things. They are evil
If you knock one out and it falls in the water, it will drown and die while unconscious. Also, you canβt retrieve the things it took from you in its inventory, which blows.
if you need help finding one just walk around with a high level giga in a cryopod
Bola it, tranq it, and feed it fish. I advise having a Baryonyx or another dino that gathers fish well with you.
You have to tame a high level because it would have so little health you would kill it by accident. I would use a long neck to knock it out and probably 10 bolas because they are pretty hard to hit.
These definitely should be tamed by making them steal narcoberries or narcotics cuz knockout taming commonly kills these idiots
They need to make it so that if you put narcos bio toxin etc in ur last hot bar a lot the icthyornis will eat them and get knocked out(like putting berries in ur last hotbar slot to tame the pego, but instead of taming it will be knocked out)
To avoid having your mission essential gear stolen by these guts while trying to tame, split a bunch of stacks of berries, flit, thatch, anything thatβs worthless. Having 80 small stacks of nonsense and a handful of essentials makes it far more likely they take the things you donβt need.
